Probiotic Cleaning + Chemistry

Funded by IHBE Industry Consortium

 

Given BioBE’s recent findings about antibiotic resistance from antimicrobial compounds in our built environment (Antimicrobial chemicals associate with microbial function and antibiotic resistance indoors), researchers at BioBE are interested in investigating the effectiveness of probiotic cleaning, which leverages microbe-microbe competition to eliminate pathogenic bacteria.
